Support the Market Basket employees

The Market Basket affair is like the U.S. in microcosm. A few very rich people (Arthur S. Demoulas's net worth is reported to be nearly $2 billion — that's billion with a "b") aren't satisfied with being super-rich and are gouging the rest to get even more. They plan to raise prices, sell the real estate and rent it back, and reverse the employee-friendly policy to be able to enrich themselves even more.

The Market Basket affair is like the U.S. in microcosm. A few very rich people (Arthur S. Demoulas's net worth is reported to be nearly $2 billion — that's billion with a "b") aren't satisfied with being super-rich and are gouging the rest to get even more. They plan to raise prices, sell the real estate and rent it back, and reverse the employee-friendly policy to be able to enrich themselves even more.

Their actions threaten to wreck the company by losing key employees and many customers.
